but i told my husband i am going to maxine waters college and getting a degree in maxine waters and it was really invigorating to figure out what questions i had factual or contextual and how to find them. and i have to say one of the things this project made me so grateful for, i.e. am grateful in a good way that early black journalism, it's interesting when you go back to the los angeles times, there's a lot of coverage of representative waters may be through 92 like in the late eighties. but the afro-american was on her beat from the late seventies, seventies, ebony magazine, jet magazine. i am just so grateful for that to have a history that's not important enough. and also the style. there is one article i am in my house. if anybody knows. [laughter] but the headline was what they talked about at the meeting. what meeting are we talking about? do you want to know? and i read it. okay. >> that is such a great point. in the way to cover her the way she should have been covered like a local celebrity and and important person and with that legacy and unfortunately of up on my journali

my wife and i were pushed and surrounded and screamed at by the same type of mob that maxine likes to inspire. it's terrifying to have a swarm of people threatening to kill you, cursing at you and literally holding you hostage until police come to your rescue. that night we were assaulted by the crowd i wasn't sure for we would survive even with police protection but no democrat has ever considered impeaching maxine for her violent rhetoric. in fact republicans to our credit have never once thought it legitimate to formally sensor these democrats. no republican has sought to use the government to hold these democrats responsible for antifa or black lives matter violence and its assumed our cities of all summer resulting in a billion dollars worth of destruction looting and property damage. not one republican said let's impeach the democrats who were inciting this. because it would be ridiculous. many of the democrats kamala harris famously offered to pay the bill for those who were arrested. i wonder if she will be brought up on charges of inciting violence now that she is vice presid

but no democrat has ever considered impeaching maxine for her violent rhetoric. in fact, republicans to our credit have never once thought it legitimate to formally censor or impeach these democrats. no republican has thought to use the government to hold these democrats responsible for antifa and black lives matter violence that consumed our cities all summer resulting in over a billion dollars of destruction, looting, and property damage. not one republican said let's impeach the democrats who are inciting this because it would be ridiculous. many on the democrats side of the aisle cheered them on. kamala harris, famously offered to pay the bill for those who were arrested. i wonder if she'll be brought up on charges of inciting violence for that now that she's vice-president? should kamala harris be impeached for offering to pay for valt violent people to get out of jail who have been burning our cities down? no, no republican suggested that. the democrats going down the low road of impeaching people for political speech. should they impeach the mayor of seatt

host: did anything happen to a republican after maxine waters? guest: sure. republicans were harassed. you can look at examples of republicans that have been spat upon and have lost their jobs, been run out of restaurants. yes. there is evidence of that. there was a black man who was a trump supporter who was shot and killed in cold blood, standing in front of his small business. that happened. yes, there are examples of that. i will also bring up, all the cries of people going out in the streets, make your voice known and get in their faces and take back the city and to do all these negative things, they happened during the black lives matter protest, when you saw a lot of violence and you saw death. officer dorn. that occurred. we have to be honest about how we look at this and the slippery slope we are going to go down by saying, if someone has an event and someone acts independently of it, are they held responsible? i think the vote that was taken in the senate clearly articulated where they are. i think senator kaine, the democrat from virginia, his sent

no democrat will ask whether maxine waters incited violence when she told her supporters if you see a member of the administration at a restaurant or a department store, at the gas station or any place, create a crowd and push back on them. is that not incitement? my wife and i were pushed and surrounded and screamed at by the same type of mob that maxine likes to inspire. it's terrifying to have a swarm of people threatening to kill you, cursing at you and literally holding you hostage until police come to your rescue. that night we were assaulted by the crowd i wasn't sure if we would survive even with police protection but no democrat has ever considered impeaching her for her rhetoric in fact republicans to our credit never once thought it legitimate to censor or impeach these democrats. no republicans sought to use the government to hold the democrats responsible for black lives matter violence that has consumed our cities all summersu resulting in over a billion dollars of destruction, looting and property damage not one republican said let's impeach the democrats who are in cit

he was talking about maxine waters.y thing is where the line is, republicans and democrats always had this against each other. since trump was the candidate and become president, this has gotten violent. you have to remember when he said he could go on fifth avenue and shoot someone and not lose a vote. now that he is president that is actually true. everything trump has done has never been accountable for you cannot get one republican to just say ok, he was wrong. he lied. you cannot. if that is where the line is, if they became completely honest, i think we could cross this line. until they be honest and say what he is doing, what he has done what he has done was wrong. host: what about liz cheney from wyoming? a member of the leadership team in the house who said the president lit the fire? caller: there's how many of them five? her and mitt romney? host: in the impeachment vote there were 10 republicans. there are five republicans in the senate who voted with democrats earlier this week. caller: how many republicans

joining us now is democratic congresswoman maxine waters.mmittee on financial services which plans to hold a hearing. congresswoman waters, good evening. good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> what's your number one question about all this right now? >> well, i am concerned about whether or not robinhood restricted the trading because there was collusion between robin hood and some of the hedge funds that were involved with this and so this is what is being said and the retail investors on reddit are saying that's not fair that short selling is fair and so what we were able to do was increase the price of that stock, we didn't violate any laws and we don't know why we would have been restricted and so i'm looking at why robin hood restricted the trading. >> now the ceo of robin hood told cnbc because of the federal requirements for how much cash he had to have on hand to manage the trades, it just overwhelmed the company and they had to pull back. do you buy his argument? >> well, i don't know that the s.e.c. interfered in any way or ad

but you know i think it depends on 1st what maxine you're looking at here in the united states we have 2 other areas vaccine so far and no corners have been cut in terms of safety and i think there is a misconception of looking at the timeline about seen the commitment and then looking at her 19 so you've been developed in a year but if you're looking at how it was developed in that year time frame. then of the things the of the different pieces you're looking at the risk in the financial support if you just looking at the data data speaks for itself and so you want to see again how. that is the kind of the trials and these are andrew and so you know i think that it again speaks for itself ok all right this one for you dr janet garlic pay says indian politicians for taking the vaccine so common people of taking it to the certainly seen in other parts of the world prominent people being filmed taking the vaccine have you seen that happen in india. but this beat a lot of senior doctors who take on it people who are well known from the mechanical profession actually bit is you know this w

the industry is poised to deliver as much maxine as we received. >> this weekend marks the one- year anniversary of the first covid-19 case detected in santa clara county. our devin fehely has the tough lessons learned coming up at 6:00. >>> a live look at dublin now. our stormy weather has passed, leaving behind blue skies and beautiful clouds. beautiful picture top mt. hamilton. chopper 5, a nice dusting of snow on the trees in the conservatory. also, blue skies above oregon hill besides the gloom we have had. also, green with all the gloom have seen. chief meteorologist paul heggen here. we have gotten a break for right now, paul? >> for now. we have a chance for rain but at least the heavy rain we've been dealing with over the last few days. the storm system the cost that i missed rogue river toward the coast has now been kicked father off to the east. it is not going to excellence and influence our weather into the beacon. showers are off the coast of. the bulk of that moisture is going to fall further up the coast from us, towards the pacific northwest and northern california.

party of his own you know maxine you know in the think can see if trump stays in the public eye which he will one way or another as a active candidate or just on the sidelines with his powerful twitter presence but i mean do you worry that in his involvement in public life continued involvement in public life that this whole russia game hoax will continue even though it's been completely debunked there's no forensic evidence behind it and as you rightly pointed out in the 1st part of the program as it is you know pearl harbor a cyber attack which it is never no one has given any attribution whatsoever it is like it when it went well during the debate you know joe biden said you know 50 foreign policy experts you know debunked all that and i mean how they didn't see any evidence they didn't receive any e-mails they didn't have access to a laptop here i mean so that the moment my point is is that it can trump state or if it's actually as these days in public life do you think that this is a hoax will be continued in it could it motivate and influence of biden foreign policy beason be ru

but unfortunately those are the expensive technologies other maxine's as well can be modified but that might take a little bit longer so certainly vaccines can be modified by. i think before we jump to that we need to do all the research that's required to just see how effective the current vaccines are against the variants that emerged in the u.k. and from south africa which as you quite rightly said and now globally distributed these are not just limited to those countries by any means so i think let's 1st look at that we are concerned about one aspect of the immune response the antibody response but the priming of the immune response once you have a vaccine doesn't only involve antibodies it involves other compartments of of your immune system so we're still hopeful that those will work and we should be pressing ahead with the current vaccines even in the face of these there eons as quickly as we can and i let me ask you to expand on the point that helen was making as well i mean how much is there a potential for complicating the rollout of the vaccine with the spread of these new v

actually which is licensed from astra zeneca oxford and is basically the same maxine except that it's been produced in india and this for this vaccine the data which has come through is based on. missions from the u.k. mentality and some bridging studies which have happened in india the 2nd maxine is a domestically research to work seen from a lot of biotech where they didn't council of medical research and this is a back scene which has been entirely developed within the country and has gotten to face the if because the studies ongoing but has received special permission to be allowed to be allowed to be marketed or for to make response this special permission is interesting tell us about the regulatory body charged with making these approvals they must be under tremendous pressure to greenlight the drugs. you know well i think there's a lot of expectation about vaccines obviously being a key part of the response and i think almost in all countries you've seen this that there is a great expectation about the vaccine the same here in india as well i directed a great artist called the

maxine waters saying it's the summer of love as they burn her city down.time have we said that you should impeach cory booker or that you should impeach kamala harris or impeach bernie sanders because we're much more fair-minded people. i let the public decide who is right on that. >> let me place this sound bite from megan mccain and 15 seconds to wrap it up. >> i believe president trump should be impeach. we have to make a fine line about what is acceptable for a president to to or not. he incited a riot. people died. i cannot defend people who are against impeachment. >> defend yourself very quickly, senator. >> i think we ought to look at the facts. apparently the violence happened while the president was giving the speech to other people. apparently people plotted about this violence weeks in advance on facebook. the other thing is, she needs to look at democrat's language and use the same standard. so if she wants to impeach the president, she should impeach maxine waters, cory booker and kamala harris. >> trace: thanks, rand paul. also here, andy mc

there is a huge difference and it is far worse what maxine waters and others were doing.t the capital was absolutely horrific and wrong, but you can hardly blame madison cawthorn for saying make your voices heard for that happening. >> dagen: richard, the day after the riots on capitol hill said last night i spoke out in defense of our constitution and i fair electoral process and unequivocally denounce the violence that took place in the nation's capital. it was not patriotism. it was thuggery, we are all americans, what unites us is greater than what divides us. what do you make of that and the call for basically being expelled? >> you should've thought about that before he was speaking to this mob, the mob incited by the president and perhaps by rudy giuliani and people like congressman congressman hawthorne, these are not democrats, this is liz cheney talking. do. d.c. is an armed fortress today because of the big lie that people like congressman cawthorn were communicating to the people who want to believe something that is fundamentally untrue. donald trump could en

is 100 percent africa shares i think the communication should we even if you've got no maxine please take all precautions just place anyone else is expected simon the last word to you but just on that point if vaccinated people do get those extra privileges like being able to cross borders not a ramifications as it's going to provide a huge incentive for one to get the shot absolutely and just because one government doesn't want to induce introduced immunity passports or requirement for immunity to travel that doesn't mean that's another government another country won't and it may well it introduce a requirement in order to travel or or to get meters so i can see this being a real bone of contention and there will be a lot of argument and a lot of unhappiness among people who know what you have been vaccinated if that comes to pass. dr simon clarke microbiology professor at reading university and dr and on global health and bioethics researcher and former president of the international association of bioethics. almost half of school teachers in france are self centering on religious

maxine waters has said get up in their face. so has cory booker. that sounds like an incitement to violence, but nobody is talking about impeaching maxine waters, bernie sanders, cory booker force and got up in their face. so it is a significant hypocrisy and doubles standard that they are putting forward. >> harris: g.o.p. senator lindsey graham told sean hannity last night that trump impeachment trial runs counter to the democrats call for unity. >> why are they doing this? they were afraid. i think democratic senators are afraid of their party. if they don't give some credibility to this trial that started in the house, they were in trouble. joe biden has been a huge disappointment thus far, not only on policy, but on the idea that i'm going to bring the country together. how easy would it be, sean, for joe biden to say it is bad to impeach a president after they leave office? unless already with donald trump, let's look forward. >> harris: you're watching "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner. today, emily compagno, fox nation house, tomi lahren.

boss is large enough to eat you but the potter biotech maxine waters. is doing s.t.d. by director dr mattson is also mean and used in winning at the segments which is not just the news that are back in the world one being one what do you know about the part of my attic. is that distinct and not these to try out is this really the only family to fly hops it is leaning to the free speech and is that it now is one of the largest has ever seen and jumped it does 100 really see the issues more iraqis are considering she had slept. in new hopes to inoculate some 300000000 people by summer how realistic is that. well michael in you know why do you fix that panel again how do you know candy did. not actually do this the last 30 minutes be but to me that's a teenager 12 feet will be time to switch it cute plus tell it again and then it's an additional work or security personnel it is actually doing other than sending really a crowd to the list which could be a challenge these include everybody about 15 years at least as well it will be a lot of duets with equality is not extens

caller: we shouldn't have 47 year politicians like joe biden or pelosi or maxine waters who have gotten rich off of our money. james,aryland, this is democrat line. say that'm calling to i believe that the progressives in the house need to withhold their votes for nancy pelosi unless she agrees to force a vote for medicare for all on the floor. host: what prompted you to make this call today? caller: is my own personal opinion but it is shared by a large coalition of people online from various, various outlets. it is not one single outlet doing this, it is just an idea. states declared to prepare the 115th congress -- 116 congress adjourned. again, that is the last time the wanted 16 congress will have a quick pro forma session from the house. again, before they gavel in of the 117th congress. and a lot of activity expected when it comes to those efforts. you heard us talking about it this morning. pay attention to both c-span and c-span2 throughout the course of the day. if you are on c-span, then you can follow along with the actions of the house, which we cover gavel-to-gavel every t

maxine waters giving her spiel. she heard there was going to be a big ryan and she called the mayor and was told everything was going to be fine. got off of that. host: what is your question? caller: i want to know, why jeffries -- what committee is he on? or is appointed to? these people are actually communist. mr. jeffries -- i listen to him, mostly. host: what do you want to take from that? guest: there are a lot of people who feel that donald trump was treated very unfairly and that there are people who are out to get him. that is perhaps true to a certain degree. i think a lot of this is we get a little loose with our language when we call people communists. that means something. i don't know that that is necessarily fair. there are people who have been making the last four years really difficult for donald trump. it is absolutely true that from the very beginning, there was a movement to stop everything he was trying to do. it is absolutely true that the broader mainstream media has hated him from the start. m

maxine waters challenged the results over the russia hoechst in 2016. we talked about putting her on a no-fly list? what is the standard here? what is a standard -- we can't have a double standard, going to stand consistently. waters didn't promote violence orce self in her own words agait the president of the united states. anything happened to her? not that i recall. take a look. >> don't seat anybody in that cabinet from a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you g get out and you tell them they are not welcome! i am sitting here listening, watching, absorbing, thinking about -- even though i never met him, and with this kind of inspiration, i will go and take trump out tonight. [cheers and applause] >> seems very excited. what if any republican said that about joe biden or kamala harris can you say she was inciting violence on the president? was she encouraging an insurrection, where are the democrats that want the whole donald trump who did say at the rally, you can march peacefully at the capital, what about joe biden, telling

i think number one is increase maxine supply very very important motivate companies to accelerate the production of. meet the demand. americans have high expectations. i mean my family for almost a year now. and i really want them to get vaccinated too so it's not just new york it's everywhere that. kind of problem so the federal government needs to step in there i think there's a lot of order that needs to take place in these testing and vaccination sites that asking a lot of patient out of people that people are going to react for more than days. center bed lex appointment was rescheduled but after the last cancellation she's now much more skeptical and just like hoping that they're going to come through with it the now i don't believe them anymore you know like i trusted them last week but not that all it'll take more time until the vaccines free americans from the virus. as it actually reports we know that the pandemic in the us where you are things will probably get worse before they get better president biden he's pushing for congress to pass what was 2 trillion dollars in coded

no democrat suggested impeaching maxine about her violent rhetoric. republicans never thought it was important to censor or impeach the democrats. to hold these democrats for antifa and black lives matter that have consumed our cities resulting in over a billion dollars of destruction, looting and property damage, not one republican said, let's impeach the democrats who are inciting this because it would be ridiculous. many on the democrat side of the aisle cheered them on. kamala harris famously offered to pay the bill for those who were arrested. i wonder if she'll be brought up on charges of inciting violence for that now that she is vice president. should kamala harris be impeached for offering to pay for violent people to get out of jail who have been burning our cities down? no. and no republican has offered that because we're not going down the road the democrats have decided, this low road of impeaching people for political speech. should republicans impeach the democrat mayor of seattle who incited and condoned violence by calling the armed t

>> well, maxine waters is not the president of the united states and called the secretary of state ofia 18 times begging him to turn over this election. senator cotton asking people to slow down and stop doing what they're doing should not be just because it's a great voting strategy. we talked about why senator cotton, hey, president trump, you need to stop. the reason you need to stop because he thinks it will hurt republicans in future. at this point time for the games to stop. not because a great voting strategy, in the future right is right, wrong is wrong. i worked for senator sanders when they lost they need to pick up their toys and go home. when hillary clinton lost i said they need to pick up their toys and go home. for four years president trump called -- david: hillary clinton is calling president trump's election illegitimate. i have want to get to bill for a second, the media is playing same game being shocked at challenging the electoral college that a lot of democrats are playing when in fact maxine waters and others did the same thing in 2001 and 2017. let me play a s

host: did anything happen to a republican after maxine waters? guest: sure.licans were harassed. you can look at examples of republicans that have been spat upon and have lost their jobs, been run out of restaurants. yes. there is evidence of that. there was a black man who was a trump supporter who was shot and killed in cold blood, standing in front of his small business. that happened. yes, there are examples of that. i will also bring up, all the cries of people going out in the streets, make your voice known and get in their faces and take back the city and to do all these negative things, they happened during the black lives matter protest, when you saw a lot of violence and you saw death. officer dorn. that occurred. we have to be honest about how we look at this and the slippery slope we are going to go down by saying, if someone has an event and someone acts independently of it, are they held responsible? i think the vote that was taken in the senate clearly articulated where they are. i think senator kaine, the democrat from virginia, his sentiments

now we have to ask congressman, democrat and republican, should maxine waters face impeachment? remember publicly fantasize about killing the president on multiple occasions, getting in the face isn't creating crowds and telling people in the cabinet they're not wanted anywhere. what about impeachment manager ted lieu? he once promoted widespread civil unrest against the president. what about another impeachment manager -- eric swalwell should be on this, as if dating a chinese guy wasn't bad enough. swalwell is now comparing president trump to bin laden. you can't make it up, but predictable. >> holding him accountable is different from the people who directly were involved in tearing down the doors and rampaging. dominic the capitol building. >> usama bin laden did not enter u.s. soil on september 11th, but it was widely acknowledged he was responsible for inspiring the attack on our country. >> sean: all right. according to the democrats old standards comparing the president of the world's most hated terrorist must be incitement, right? okay. it what about joe biden question

maxine waters was helping lead the effort to not certify the results of the election that put george w. bush in the white house. one of her co-leaders in the 2001 was rewarded by being made chairman of the house judiciary committee. i don't care if jesus came and was elected as a republican president she would find fault for them and not the certification of the election. she is a back bencher for a reason because she says crazy things like this. >> harris: crushing the pandemic. the signature effort of the biden administration. why some critics are saying the first week has not gone very well. not even a little. national guard troops are on capitol hill still even after the inauguration. why? >> i'm a pretty simple guy, tucker. i like breakfast food and straight answers. and i'm not accusing anybody of anything, but washington, d.c. being washington, d.c., a cynic might think there is a political angle here. at record low rates to save money every month plus you could get an average of $50,000 cash. that's money for security today and money for retirement tomorrow. refiplus, it's on

even if you look at maxine waters. remember, this has come from the very beginning.hin minutes after president trump was elected in 2016, within minutes they were already calling for his impeachment. this was a weapon from the left. but mind you this, it's not so much about president trump. this is a lesson for every single american. they are sending a message to all the 75 million americans that voted for president trump that they will impeach your choice. that it must be their choice. and we have to be really careful here to see how they're using this. and remember, maxine waters also came out and said, you know, to target trump voters, target maga voters. and now what are we seeing repeatedly in the news? constantly calling trump voters or america first voters or maga voters terrorists, comparing them to hezbollah in "the washington post." what kind of rhetoric is this when we're supposed to be conforming, coming to unity, coming together, bringing our nation together? instead what we've seen from the democrats over the past few days is nothing buddy visiveness --

and do it to kamala harris and do it to maxine waters. i'm going to take trump out tonight and then you can do it to everybody else that has said insightful insurrection-like language. stop legitimizing you republicans, you weak ones, this psychotic rage. focus on your job. we are in the middle of a pandemic. there are millions of americans out of work. democrats once again proving my point. they don't have compassion. there is no awareness. there is no empathy and sadly hardworking americans, as we unfortunately predicted rightly, are now paying the price. jobs are lost. but the promises of jobs here and everywhere. they are nonexistent at this moment. here with reaction, fox news contributor, dan bongino. i'm tired of this false narrative. they have a monopoly on compassion. they have a monopoly for minorities. no, they don't. donald trump set those records. they never did. >> yeah, i mean, i'm really astonished how many people keep falling for this liberal scam. it's obviously a scam. it's been a scam forever. you know, i read an inter

. >> sean: i'd like to apply the same standards to maxine waters. "i'm going to take trump out tonight." or "get in their faces, create a crowd, they don't want it anywhere anymore, follow them in the grocery store," or chuck schumer on the steps of the supreme court threatening course gorsuch and kamala gorsuch and kavanaugh. or kamala on the steps after they burned it down, we won't stop. is that inciting a crowd or paying for bail for arrested writers like she was part of the group? >> that's legitimizing violence. you are trying to get people out of jail who burned down business days and attack police officers and you openly are saying they aren't going to stop, they shouldn't stop your compared that with what president trump said in his speech. here's what i'd like, i'd like to get this trial over sooner rather than later to our democratic colleagues but if you call one witness, you'll blow up the united states senate, don't do that. let's get this travesty over with quickly. >> sean: i always criticize republicans when they are weak, when they

maxine waters challenge the results over the russia hoax in. nobody talked about putting her on a no-fly list. so what is the standard here? where is somebody to say well, we can't have a double standard. we're going to stand consistently. remember waters did promote violence herself in her own words against the president of the united states. anything happened to her? now that i recall. take a look. >> if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, and a gasoline station, you get out and you push back on them and you tell them they are not welcome. >> i am sitting here listening, watching, absorbing, thinking about someone. with this kind of inspiration, i will go and take trump out tonight. >> sean: seems very excited. what if any republican said that about joe biden or kamala harris? can you say that she was inciting violence against the president? was she encouraging an insurrection? should she be held accountable for that rhetoric. where are the democrats that want old donald trump, who did say at the rally no

alecia garza,, scroll and -- congresswoman seen waters, -- maxine waters. congressman bennie thompson, welcome and thank you for being here virtually. the witnesses will be recognized for five minutes each to give an oral presentation of their testimony. i ask that you respect the witness's time by ending your oral testimony timely, without objections. at this time, i recognize the distinguished gentleman from south carolina, former congressional black caucus chairman and every leader, congressman james clyburn for five minutes. congressman james clyburn: thank you, i hope i have on muted myself successfully. thank you for calling this here today, it is very important to starting our new congress, a new presidency. i will be with electing on dr. martin that the king junior's last book, -- martin luther king jr.'s last book, where do we go from here? that was written in 1957. it could have been written just as easily today. for those of us who were activists in the 1960's, much of what we saw was behind us. in fact, dr. king wrote in his 1964 work " why we c

i wonder if he had the same sentiment about maxine waters who called for people to get up in the faceslame to go around but to lay all the blame at the feet of one person when there are numerous examples of other people on the other side of the aisle doing the exact same thing, and it's just wrong. it's incredibly unfair and it doesn't move the conversation, that's not productive. looking at some of the rhetoric from the speeches and capitol hill hill, we are not going in that direction. >> bret: i want to move the conversation here. >> i condemn you for raising all of these issues but we've never had a president hold a rally while the congress was ratifying the official results of the presidential race. this is unique and powerful and unprecedented moment in our history and i want to make sure that it never happens again. >> bret: i want to leave more time to talk about this as we head towards tuesday and wednesday. what does that look like and if it does need to be reined in, should congress do it? yes, you are. i'm gonna get this place all clean. i'll give you a hand. and i'm gonna
